Summary:
Herbarium taste is a graphic project designed to be eaten: a collection, a nutritional herbarium divided into seasons. Fruits and vegetables are represented in a simple and essential way, and they are then sectioned to reveal the valuable resources contained within. Herbarium taste is not a treatise on medicine, nor is it a boring health lesson; it is an easy way of showing that there is something important in each piece of fruit or vegetable, and that it would be good for our well being to include them in our repertoire of recipes. It is a small educational manual that lists nutritional information and pieces of trivia, like crumbs of knowledge to be eaten up in one mouthful.

Summary:
People have used honey, dates, and fruits to sweeten their dishes since time immemorial, but with the introduction of sugar white gold into cooking and baking, a whole array of delightful flavors and culinary possibilities was unearthed. Sugar was the building block for edible sculptures and model palaces made for festivals and celebrations thousands of years ago, and the main ingredient in lavish creations for Rococo and Baroque banquets. A life without cakes, pastries, tarts, soufflés, meringues, petits fours, or marzipan would be unimaginable! In ''Bon! Bon!'', Charlotte Birnbaum uncovers the wonderful world of all things sugary through surprising anecdotes and historical accounts, each accompanied by delectable recipes that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

Summary:
Coffee, tea, and chocolate were all the rage in Enlightenment Europe. These fashionable beverages profoundly shaped modes of sociability and patterns of consumption, yet none of the plants required for their preparation was native to the continent: coffee was imported from the Levant, tea from Asia, and chocolate from Mesoamerica. Their introduction to 17th-century Europe revolutionized drinking habits and social customs. It also spurred an insatiable demand for specialized vessels such as hot beverage services and tea canisters, coffee cups and chocolate pots. This beautiful book demonstrates how the paraphernalia associated with coffee, tea, and chocolate can eloquently evoke the culture of these new beverages and the material pleasures that surrounded them. Contributors address such topics as the politics of coffee consumption in 18th-century Germany; 18th-century visual satires on the European consumption of tea, coffee, and chocolate; and the design history of coffee pots in the United States between the colonial period and the present.

Summary:
Pourquoi écrire un livre sur le terroir ? Pour préciser les contours d'une cuisine moderne française. L'enjeu est de taille. Il s'agit d'ouvrir de nouveaux horizons en exprimant le produit autrement, pleinement, grâce à l'étude des piliers fondateurs de notre gastronomie. Bien qu'identitaire, le terroir n'est pas apprécié à sa juste valeur en cuisine car trop souvent restreint à une simple zone géographique. Insuffisant. Comment servir dans l'assiette le goût du terroir ? Et si l'affirmation de Michel Chapoutier selon laquelle "seuls les produits fermentés peuvent faire valoir le terroir" se vérifiait aux fourneaux ? Ce nouvel ouvrage compte 18 mois d'interrogations, d'échanges, d'expériences, d'échecs, de réussites pour essayer de mieux restituer le terroir, en s'appuyant sur un double process de fermentation, puis d'extraction. À la clef, un plaisir décuplé, ultime. celui non plus d'un simple espace géographique, mais de ses saveurs les plus complexes... Ou comment une nouvelle fois, faire parler l'élément, le vivant, autrement, pleinement.
